解放军文职招聘考试拯救剩余食物1

 University of Maryland student Ben Simon and his friends couldn't stand to see good food thrown out on their campus. "We basically noticed that some of the extra food from our dining hall was going to waste at the end of the day. And we met with our dining services and asked them whether it would be okay if we instead of throwing out food away donated it. And they were on board." So 18 months ago, the students began what they call the Food Recovery Network. Each night, volunteers would show up at a campus dining hall to pick up leftovers and deliver them to area shelters and food banks. "When we started, we collected, I would say, a little bit more than we currently do now, so maybe between 100 pounds and 200 pounds of food per night." So far, they've donated more than 23,000 kilos of food that would otherwise have been thrown out. The amount of wasted food was also reduced when school officials removed trays from the dining hall. Rob Fahey is the chef. "We do not use trays because it's proven that the students fill up a tray. And this way they only pick up their plates and they can only grab so much food. And then they can go back in line to get more food if they want. That prevents wastage for that."

马里兰大学的学生本•西蒙和他的朋友们不想放任校园里的食物浪费现象大行其道：“我们注意到食堂的剩饭剩菜在一天结束后就浪费掉了。于是我们约见了食堂的工作人员，问他们是否可以让我们捐赠这些原本要被扔进垃圾桶的食物。他们答应了。”于是18个月前，学生们就开始了被称作“食物回收网络”的行动。每天晚上，学校的食堂都会有志愿者来整理剩饭剩菜，并把这些剩饭剩菜送到当地的收容所和食品发放救济中心。“刚开始那阵子，我们每天晚上大概要整理100磅到200磅的食物，比现在的要多一些。”迄今为止，他们已经捐赠了超过23,000公斤的食物。要不是有他们，这些食物就被白白浪费了。自从校领导决定食堂不再提供托盘之后，剩菜剩饭的数量也减少了。对此，厨师罗伯•费伊说：“我们之所以不再提供托盘是因为学生们买饭菜时总喜欢把托盘盛满。现在没有托盘了，他们就只能用盘子，盛的食物就少了。如果吃不饱的话，他们可以回来重新排队买饭。如此一来就减少了浪费。”
